Another Alexa fan commented: “She did not deserve that win. She should NOT be champion. It’s still too soon. She really is an #OverHypedRookie who needs more matches under her belt before winning a title. It’s called earning your dues... She has not done that…”

Ronda, 31, became the new RAW Women’s Champion less than six months after switching from UFC to professional wrestling.

The gripping fight was Ronda’s fourth televised WWE match after making her in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 this year.

The star first hit the spotlight by becoming the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo, where she received a bronze at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Ronda went onto become a UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and has won 12 consecutive MMA fights including six in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

As well as a successful sporting career, Ronda has starred in The Expendables 3 and has had holes in Furious 7 and Entourage.

After her win last night, she received messages of support from fellow WWE stars Charlotte Flair and Triple H.

SmackDown Women’s Champion and the daughter of Ric Flair, Charlotte Flair wrote on Twitter: “She’s been a record-breaking, history-making, and a trail-blazing athlete. @RondaRousey doesn’t rest on her legacy, she’s paving her own future. Congratulations, Champ. #SummerSlam #AndNew.”

While Triple H posted a picture of the two of them after Ronda’s fight where she could be seen holding her new glistening belt.

The 49-year-old said: “A fighter… for change… for women… for the future. Congratulations to @RondaRousey on becoming the NEW #Raw Women’s Champion. #SummerSlam. #BaddestWomanOnThePlanet.”
